Faculty members Shiwen Mao and Prathima Agrawal have been awarded a National Science Foundation grant for their project, “Collaborative Research: Fundamental Research on Adaptive Wireless Video Systems,” to develop enabling technologies for wireless video streaming that can be applied to 4G wireless, as well as legacy cellular networks. The project […]
Faculty members Kevin Gue and Alice Smith have been chosen as lead investigators for a three-year, $255,000 National Science Foundation grant with University of Arkansas faculty member Russ Meller. Their project, “Collaborative Research: Non-Traditional Designs for Order Picking Warehouses,” includes developing new warehouse designs that improve order picking operations. Picking […]
Faculty member Bryan Chin has been awarded a National Science Foundation grant to investigate and develop autonomous sensors that detect and capture pathogens in food. In his research, “Autonomous Sentinels for the Detection and Capture of Invasive Pathogens,” he looks at a system that mimics the function of naturally occurring […]
Faculty member Xinyu Zhang is developing a new concrete recipe that would recycle common waste products, lessen greenhouse gases, and even melt snow from roadways and bridges. Working in conjunction with researchers from the University of Alabama under a $450,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, Zhang and his colleagues […]
His biggest dream, always, was to teach at Auburn . . . It was a dream that came true for Larry Benefield in 1979 — one that took seed in the early 1960’s when the graduate from rural Handley High School showed up on the Auburn campus as a freshman. The […]
Leonardo da Vinci, also known as “the Renaissance Man,” was not the only one to recognize that water, in particular, clean water, is essential to life. Auburn Engineering students understand it as well, so much so that several of them have developed a portable water purifying system to prevent water-borne […]
What began in 2000 as an ambitious, and undoubtedly challenging, vision by a newly appointed dean of the College of Engineering became a reality in January. With the completion of Phase II of the Shelby Center for Engineering Technology, Auburn Engineering’s vision to construct a state-of-the-art engineering complex with the […]
The reasons for wanting to earn an advanced degree are as varied as the individuals who seek them, but all have one thing in common: they want a quality classroom experience. With a history of engineering excellence dating back to 1872, Auburn knows how to deliver that quality — both […]
State of Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame In February, Auburn Engineering saw three of its alumni, and one project made possible by an alumnus, inducted into the prestigious State of Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame. Wendell Mead, a 1963 and 1966 aerospace engineering graduate, is a pioneer in the field of […]
The world can be a dangerous place. And anyone who doubts that we could be safer or more secure in it — in our homes, schools, offices and in our skies — should simply look to the headlines. In September, the U.S. solemnly remembered the tenth anniversary of our country’s […]
